K-9 Bed Bug Inspections

QUICK, ACCURATE BED BUG DETECTION

Dogs have been very effective in the detection of a wide variety of items including but not limited to drugs, bombs, fugitives, cadavers, mold and termites. Because dogs have 20 to 40 times the number of nasal receptor cells than humans do, they can detect the tiniest levels of odors, even a few parts per billion. With their sophisticated sense of smell, our dogs are able to quickly and accurately find bed bugs in St. Louis and Mid-Missouri.

the latest advancement in bed bug detection

While human inspections can take 20 minutes to 1 hour, trained bed bug dogs can search the average hotel room in just 3 to 5 minutes. Our dogs were trained at two of the nation’s leading detection dog training facilities. For months, both dogs were given multiple items in succession to smell. When they came to the target odor (bed bugs in this case), they were rewarded with a treat.
